GREETINGS FROM THE
ASSOCIATE DEAN

Welcome to the University of Michigan’s College of Engineering! You are starting this journey at a time
in which the world needs you—and the engineer you will become—more than ever. We are faced with
challenging problems that are global in scope, including the environment, energy, transportation, and
health care. Solving problems in these areas requires the exceptional technical knowledge and skill that
Michigan engineers bring. However, to fulfill the promise of leadership, you must go well beyond the
technical. You will need to develop an innovative and creative spirit and an entrepreneurial mindset,
designing solutions that exhibit environmental and social responsibility. You will need to collaborate
and communicate across many disciplines, working with people from diverse cultures across the globe.
To prepare for this, you must take advantage of the resources of the whole University of Michigan. Move beyond engineering: learn a
language; discover through psychology how humans think, react to their environment, and are motivated; explore creativity through the
arts; dive into the history and culture of another region of the globe; discover how public policy impacts us all; study abroad to challenge
your conceptions of the world.

Over 1,400 other engineering students, each unique and in some way exceptional, are starting their educational careers with you. They are
a great resource, as are the other students, faculty, and staff already here. Your success in engineering will be enhanced by your interactions
with those around you. Our engineering faculty are here at Michigan because they love what they do. Be sure to take full advantage of
these amazing people!

Remember also that while your engineering education will begin in classrooms, you must engage with the broader Michigan community
to truly develop your creative potential. You must awaken your passions not only through your studies, but also through the many
co-curricular activities that enrich our community: take on an internship, pursue your entrepreneurial aspiration, engage in our
multidisciplinary design program, or travel abroad.

While here at Michigan you will be challenged, you will experience emotional highs and lows, and you will be asked to do things that at
first blush appear to be impossible. Much to your surprise—but not to ours—you will discover that they are not only possible, but a ton
of fun as well! Welcome to Michigan, and Go Blue!

HONOR CODE
In 1915, students in the College of Engineering created an Honor Code and formed a student-run Honor Council. The Honor Code is based on the
principle that members of the College of Engineering community are honest and trustworthy people. The Honor Code exists to encourage ethics and
integrity, and the principles of community, trust, and personal responsibility.

Exams are usually given without a proctor because your instructors trust
THE HONOR CODE IS BASED ON THESE TENETS: that you will act honorably and professionally. It is your responsibility
• Engineers must possess personal integrity, both as to understand and abide by community norms against cheating or
students and as professionals. They must ensure inappropriate collaboration, as well as to adhere to any policies on

resources in their work. syllabi carefully, and be sure to ask your instructors if you have questions

STUDENTS FROM THE
EAC PEER ADVISORS
EAC PEER ADVISORS
Peer advisors are upperclass students in a variety of engineering departments who have been trained to help first-year students
choose courses, register for classes, and understand the policies and procedures of the College. More importantly, as students, peer
advisors have a personal insight into life at the University of Michigan.

DEFINITION OF LIBERAL ARTS COURSES


Liberal Arts Courses (LACs) are intended to give students the broader education in qualitative critical thinking and human society that can give context
to their engineering practice and to their contributions as citizens. This excludes mathematics and science courses. A complete definition can be found in
the CoE bulletin, but the following courses are considered to be LAC’s:

• Any course offered by any UM-AA unit marked HU or SS in the LSA Course Guide is considered a LAC.
• For a course not marked HU or SS but offered under one of the LSA subjects listed below, it is considered a LAC if it is not marked BS, NS,
QR/1, or QR/2 in the LSA Course Guide.
• In addition, if a course is not marked HU or SS in the LSA Course Guide, but is marked Experiential or Independent, then explicit permission of
a CoE program advisor is needed to use it as a LAC.

A Yes. The College of Engineering does accept credit
from community colleges. However, be sure to speak
with your advisor about your plans. Certain courses
(i.e., some courses in Math and Physics) should be
taken at a four-year institution to ensure you are
prepared for engineering coursework.

GET INVOLVED ON CAMPUS


There are many reasons to get involved on campus. You will meet new friends, have fun, and gain important experience. Employers and graduate schools
like to see that students are involved in at least one activity on campus.

Choose an activity that sounds interesting to you, and start slowly (we recommend you join no more than 1-2 groups in your first term; you will need
time to adjust to campus). Here are some resources for finding student organizations:
